I am voting for Bush this November also, but I am just curious, exactly what would a Republican (not Bush specifically, this is a hypothetical question) have to do to not get your vote? I am voting for Bush pretty much only on foreign policy issues. Thinking through it, he really might as well be a Democrat as far as most domestic issues are concerned. In fact, I can't think of very many major issues where he has really stepped up to the plate and taken a strong stand, with the exception of stem cell research and a small tax cut. There may be a couple others I am not thinking of right now, but he has dropped the ball on so many others, like illegal immigration, gun control, federal spending, farming, etc. I am not trying to provoke you, I am honestly asking what it would take for you to no longer support someone who calls themself a Republican.

For me not to vote Republican.... it would take one or more of the following:
raising taxes BEFORE implementing cuts in spending
supporting abortion with no restrictions
starting a war with no just cause
*severely* interfering with free-trade
supporting same-sex marriage or any other "rights" based on behavior.
